Chapter 1: Nightmare

The desolate land was unbearably cold as if the cold itself has emerged from the deepest core of the hell itself.

As her cloak flutter with the wind, she stood motionless staring at the distance, her face devoid of any emotions.

At her feet was a crimson river with corpses lying deform.

"......Miao"

" Miao miao!"

Hearing the familiar voice she was jolted awake, her face covered with sweat as she gasped for breath.

Clutching her heart she lowered her head afraid to show her complex emotions in her eyes.

Every time she had a nightmare she couldn't shake off the feeling of fear and complicated emotions, every time she woke up she doesn't remember anything but the strong feeling grew each time she had a nightmare.

She somehow had a foreboding feeling that this nightmare had something unpleasant past of her and this feeling was strong.

Seeing his daughter in this state he really was helpless.

He couldn't see his daughter in pain but he himself was at a lost, at first he thought it was nothing, but lately she was constantly having nightmares, and it wasn't normal.

The reason a person having a nightmare could only be, either a person has a guilty conscience that one couldn't forget or that person was haunted by the most painful memories one wish to erase.

As he comes into conclusions his face instantly paled and At that moment the memories instantly surpassed.

The thought of that make him fear, his eyes instantly turn red as he brings his daughter into his embrace.

The moment he hugged her she could smell the refreshing pear scent on her daddy's robe which calmed her chaotic mind and made her feel safe and secure in his embrace.

After a moment of long embrace they both pulled away, seeing that his daughter was alright he left out a sigh of relief.

Seeing his hesitated look she said " I don't remember anything again" she couldn't help but clench her fist.

This man was her daddy, Xian Jingyan, an array master with a profound medical knowledge and fighting skills and also the only Shidi of the current sect master of the Kunlun mountain which was her dad, Xian Xueyu.

Both of them are deeply in love with each other, but they couldn't openly express it not just because Xian Xueyu's position as a sect master but because their love wasn't acceptable by the people.

They were not afraid of others pointing fingers at them, but they couldn't bear the thought of others pointing fingers at their loved one. So, they could only hide their love and her as their disciple.

She thought she was adopted but her dad and daddy said that she was born from them, she doesn't know how, but she believes them.

Xian Bao Miao, which was her name, Bao which means 'to protect' and miao 'to love' her name itself shows their love towards her.

Xian Bao Miao " Daddy you don't have to worry, in our pursuit of becoming an immortal is already an heaven defying act . So, one have to face trials to ascend and without pain there's no gain "

Listening to his daughter reassuring words he couldn't help but rub her head " i know, but remember daddy and dad is always by your side "

Xian Bao Miao " okay"

Xian Jingyan " I'll leave for now"

Seeing her daddy's retreating back her suppressed emotions welled up again and the next moment she was embraced " Bao Bao you can tell me everything dad will protect you no matter what"

She heard her dad's gentle soothing voice and burst into tears as her heart couldn't hold up any emotions anymore.

Xian Xueyu gently pat his daughter lovingly, his eyes carry the rare gentlesness he shows for his family only.
